Hi Liz,<br>Great to hear from the NZ women!!<br>I am so new to all this I am green around the gills. Even IRC has been a very scary adventure. Is there a nice, friendly user guide for IRC somewhere? I followed the instructions to the letter while on IRC and seemed to miss out on the implied stuff that "everyone just knows" 8)<br>
All the best,<br>Rachel.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">2008/11/6 Liz <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:liz@debian.co.nz">liz@debian.co.nz</a>></span><br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">

</div>Heya,<br>
Im Liz, im from NZ also, and fairly up with the game regarding Linux and<br>
Ubuntu (looong time user). The online meetings always appear to be at<br>
the wrong timezone here as well, but the LUG are an excellent way to<br>
meet like minded people.<br>
There are a few women on the LUGS in NZ, and I think its time we made<br>
our presense felt :)<br>
<br>
<br>
Liz<br>
ps, Im previously from Auckland, now in Cambridge.<br>
